Well if that's true, I find it very sad that this software has not been reviewed
and that there appear to be no 'experts' here that have seen, or been able
(provided by the manufacteur), to review it here (or anywhere?).

Of course if Doveretsky (and group), only created it for 10 or 12 'buddies', it
doesn't even matter.  But if that's the case, I don't even want to know about
it!
